Friend Annie lives in Barcelona and is married to a loyal citizen of the Autonomous Community of Catalunya. Apparently the Catalan people do things a little differently and love their poop.
Fry is not sh**ing us. There really is such a thing as a Caganer, a little statue of a boy pooping that is placed behind the manger in every Catalan Nativity scene. From Wikipedia: “The Caganer, by creating feces, is fertilizing the Earth. However, this is probably an a posteriori explanation.” An a posteriori explanation?! How tongue in (butt)cheek!
Hey, everybody poops.

I shared the story of Spanish poop boy statues at a pre-Christmas eve eve gathering and wasn’t entirely believed.
Annie just bought me one. When I get it, I’ll send pictures you can show your friends!
